css3-page<http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css3-page> specifies that no more than one page (as needed to get to a right or left page) is left empty by page breaking operations.  (See 'content-empty page'.)

That seems the most desirable default behavior, so if we add 'odd', 'even', 'recto', and 'verso', that behavior should extend to those values as well, IMO.  We may need to add additional controls in the future to allow a series of blank pages, but I haven't heard strong use cases elucidated for that yet.

Best wishes,
